The world might never know who won the historic $1.537 billion Mega Millionsjackpot Tuesday night. Most were rewarded with a $1 million prize, but two of them - in Florida and Texas - added a Megaplier option, tripling their winnings to $3 million.

States receive a percentage of lottery ticket sales and then use the money to support public schools or meet other needs.

The buyer of the ticket beat the odds of 1 in 303 million to win the Mega Millions drawing for one of the largest jackpots in United States history. One of his tickets matched the first five numbers, only missing the sixth and final Mega Ball number.

Mega Millions was created in 2002 and has seen a number of changes to the rules over the years that have reduced the odds of winning, leading to larger jackpots.

All eyes are now on tonight's Powerballjackpot which is an estimated $620 million with a cash option of $354.3 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday, October 23, was originally estimated at $1.6 billion-which would have been the biggest Mega Millions grand prize ever and the highest lotteryjackpot in USA history, period.

The name of South Carolina's last big victor - a $399 million Powerball jackpot in September 2013 which at the time was the fourth biggest lottery prize in USA history - has never been made public. Many people won't even notice a jackpot unless they hear it's the largest ever, he said.
